Be A Coach FAQ

So you have thought about becoming a Beachbody coach huh? Great choice! It is so amazing and the best decision I made. I’m sure you have a lot of questions though. Some people are ready to jump right in but a lot of people are really overwhelmed and have lots of questions. I have tried to get some of these questions answered here for you. If you have more, please feel free to email me at jobrandes@overactivelife.com. I love answering questions.

What is a Beachbody Coach?

A Beachbody Coach is simply someone who loves Beachbody workouts and wants to pass their love of the programs on to other people. They are there to support and motivate other people through their fitness journeys.

What a Beachbody Coach is NOT

Answer: A Beachbody Coach is not a fitness expert, not a nutritional expert, does not have to be a medical expert and does not have to be fit from Day 1. This is a journey for all of us. You will be on your fitness journey with your team. They will be transforming with you so you do not need to worry about being in tip top shape when you sign up to be a coach. Trust me, the people you coach would rather be coached by someone more “real” then someone who looks like a model with a six pack.

What do I gain from being a coach?

Answer: Your life will change! You will experience the most amazing opportunity ever by taking the leap and experiencing the chance to help others achieve their goals. You will meet the most amazing people, network with people that have made life transforming changes in their lives and lives of others, and you will have the opportunity to go on trips with other coaches, Beachbody executives and Beachbody trainers like Shaun T, Tony Horton, Chalene Johnson and others. Most importantly, you will get the opportunity to gain self-confidence, learn about yourself, become a leader, and help change the lives of other people.

No, but what about the money!

Answer: Oh, the money. You see, being a coach is so wonderful that I forget about the money I earn. Yes, you earn a 25% commission every time someone orders a Beachbody product from your website. You also get a 25% discount on any Beachbody product you order. I use that discount a lot, I love buying stuff from Beachbody. There are other ways to earn money but we can explain that after you join as it is too complicated to explain here. Bottom line, yes, you can earn plenty of money if you put in the work. It does not come easy but if you want it you can earn it.

Any perks?

Answer: Sure! Beachbody has amazing perks for coaches who do good work. In my first year as a coach I earned a trip to the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. They have an annual Success Club trip and that is where the trip was my first year. Next week, yes March, I’m heading to DisneyWorld courtesy of Beachbody! The Success Club trips are amazing, accommodations paid for plus celebrity workouts, workshops by elite coaches, amazing parties with great food and above all, a chance to network with other coaches and Beachbody execs. There are plenty other perks too, there are chances to advance your business and at the same time win prizes as simple as caps, t-shirts and duffle bags or as amazing as iPads, watches, and more. I have an array of things Beachbody has given me just for moving my business forward. I could go on and on but instead, just email us with any questions.

This sounds great…how much?

Answer: I love this question because you will be amazed at how little it costs to be a coach. It is only $15.95 a month and that is for your six websites that Beachbody provides. You have a personalized Shakeology, Ultimate Reset and general Shop website in both English and Spanish. The startup fee is either free or $39.95. That’s it. No commitment, no extra fees and you can even cancel prior to the first 30 days and get your money back. If you want that startup fee waived you can do so by ordering a Challenge Pack during your sign up process. Challenge Packs are amazing and highly suggested. They are very popular and come with my favorite product, Shakeology. Yum!

How do I get trained?

Answer: You will get amazing training from many sources. Beachbody has an online training academy available at any time to all of its coaches. This is a constantly updated and changing academy so it will always be updated with the latest and greatest. Our team also has it’s own website fully dedicated to training that is amazing!! Also, you will have access to your own Online Office where there are many resources that will give you answers to all the questions you may have. Our team of coaches that you join has an exclusive Facebook group that you will become a part of so whenever you have a question you can ask the team and we always post information in the group so you have the latest information. Also, we are part of a much bigger team of founding Beachbody coaches and you will be put in that group too where you will have access to hundreds of coaches that have been doing this for many years full time who know all about the business and are always there to help. Trust me, you will have many resources. Lastly, Beachbody has weekly calls, our team has weekly calls, there are quarterly meetings in your local area, an annual Coach Summit and more events than you could possibly think of to get your business going and running strong. The training is amazing!!

This sounds like way too much, I have no time!

Answer: You give this business as much time as you have. If you want to make it a full time gig then you can but if you only want to do it part time for 30 minutes a day then you can do that too. It is your business so you give it as much time as you want. Understand that the more time you give it the more you will get out of it but also understand that people who work this business part time like me can be very successful too. I have a full time job and work 8-10 hrs a day and still have a very successful Beachbody business. You can too if you want. It just comes down to time management and giving the business a little bit of time every single day. We will teach you how to do this. No worries. So whether you have 1 hour a day or 8 hours a day for this business you can do it.
